Cosmere Characters Meet Non-Cosmere Sanderson Characters

As requested by anon. :)

Namely, Sanderson characters from non-Cosmere works I've actually read, aka Skyward and Frugal Wizard.

1. Ryan Chu (Frugal Wizard) and Amaram (Stormlight)

Ryan: What DOES Sanderson have against handsome, highly competent people? Amaram: I don't know. He just hates us. Ryan: Are we too good at our jobs? Amaram: Are we too handsome? Ryan: Too good with the ladies? Amaram: Too effective in battle? Ryan: Is it that we maybe slightly screw over his precious main character while working on something greater? Amaram: He's SUCH an unforgiving author.

2. Jorgen & Spensa (Skyward) and Vin & Elend (Mistborn)

Vin (narrowing her eyes at Jorgen): You look like a man from a highly wealthy, politically influential background who has a strained relationship with his father, especially after you fall in love with a badass, combative woman from the "wrong" side of society who has special powers needed to save the day. Spensa (narrowing her eyes at Vin): And I'm getting the sense that you had to fight really hard for everything in your life but never gave up, and that you didn't like your man initially because he seemed wealthy and stuck up but eventually you realized that he matched your freak pretty exactly. Jorgen: Oh wow, we definitely need to set up a double date! Elend: Did we just become best friends?

3. Cobb (Skyward) and Harmony (Mistborn)

Cobb: ...and it's honestly horrible, constantly loading children into that munitions chamber to be spent into empty shells. Harmony: I know what you mean. Every time I cannot act, I have to call upon Wax to be my gun once again. Cobb: And then they go out... Harmony: And then he goes out... Cobb: And they die! Harmony: And he kills tons of people! Cobb: ... Harmony: ... Cobb: I think you got your metaphor backwards there, friend. Harmony: I think it's you.

4. John (Frugal Wizard) and Painter (Yumi)

John: [holds out his hand for a fist bump] John: Fellow loser protagonist? My man. Painter: I-I'M NOT FIST BUMPING TO THAT

5. Kimmalyn (Skyward) and Adolin (Stormlight)

Adolin: It can be tough to be the most emotionally intelligent person in the cast, huh? Kimmalyn: Tough? I dunno about that! I like being able to help my friends! Adolin: I mean, me too! Adolin: But we're both so friendly and mostly upbeat that I think people sometimes forget we have our own problems. Kimmalyn: Yeah...I missed some shots that haunted me for a long time... Adolin: And I stabbed a guy through the eye in an alley. Kimmalyn: Well, bless your stars!

6. Sefawynn (Frugal Wizard) and Demoux (Mistborn/Stormlight)

Demoux: Off-worlders giving you a hard time? Sefawynn: I'm sorry? Demoux: People from other worlds? Coming to your planet and messing everything up? Sound familiar? Sefawynn: My husband is from another world. Sefawynn: I would not say that he "messed things up." He helped save us. Demoux: [Crumping up a Seventeenth Shard pamphlet in frustration] How great for you.

7. Spensa (Skyward) and Jasnah (Stormlight Archive)

Jasnah: So these "Cytonic" abilities of yours give you access to the "Nowhere." Spensa: That's right. Why? Jasnah: Which is some kind of extra-dimensional space that exists alongside your "normal" space where time is strange and timeless creatures exist? Spensa: The Delvers, yeah. Jasnah: You are basically a sci-fi Eslecaller. Spensa: ... Spensa: A what?

8. M-Bot (Skyward) and Nightblood (Warbreaker/Stormlight)

M-Bot: Hiiii! Nightblood: Hello!!! M-Bot: I can already tell that you're a kindred spirit. Nightblood: Yeah!! M-Bot: Do you want to read my ongoing work "The Greater Argument for Human Origination Chaos" (GAFHOC)? Nightblood: Well I don't think I can read, but you can tell me about? M-Bot: My main thesis is that "humans are weird." Nightblood: ...And evil? M-Bot: No, gotta go with "weird." Weird creatures, humans. Nice. Squishy sometimes. But weird. Nightblood: Mmmm...I think you're missing the "evil" part. Nightblood: I was created to destroy evil, you know! M-Bot: I was created to document mushrooms! Maybe! Nightblood: Does the "M" stand for Mushrooms? M-Bot: Yes! Or possibly "massacre" according to Spensa. Nightblood: Ooooh, I like "massacre." Massacre is cooler than mushrooms! M-Bot: Uh, you haven't seen my very cool mushrooms. Nightblood: Well, let's see them. M-Bot: I love having a friend!

jumping on the train of everyone redrawing that scene from TBB S3 E9, except it's set in one of my MLWTBB AUs 😋

(please click for better quality OMG 😩)

like I said, this is set in one of the MLWTBB AUs. it's very much based off of Voltron, but in this one, my SI is the antagonist instead of the protagonist 😁 I wanted to make an enemies to lovers AU so bad, and idk why I went with Voltron, it just came to me I guess LOL. the Marauder is the Voltron bot and can be piloted by up to five people; however, it doesn't split like Voltron does, it's more like a Transformer where it can go between ship mode and bot mode. TBB are the current owners of the Marauder, working for an organization that helps protect the galaxy; Cid is their boss and the one who sends them out on missions. Crosshair used to be a member of the team, but left years ago after a dispute over who should be the leader of their team. Omega is the current replacement for Crosshair and the youngest person to ever join the organization. my SI is a well-known opposer of this organization and is desperately trying to get the Marauder for herself. she has a faithful robot companion always at her side (Clank obviously), as well as a hired assassin that helps do her bidding who also hates the organization (try and guess who this might be 😏). she also works with a man named Vin, who provides her with the funding necessary to try and capture the Marauder.

I'm not gonna get into too many story details in case I actually eventually write this out, but it's safe to say this is one of my most thought-out AUs, along with the Pokemon and Mutant AUs. I've dubbed it my Voltron AU, but I'll probably just end up calling it a Mecha AU if I ever write it out 😆

[SECOND HEADCANON/FAN THEORY]

One of the greatest animated shows of all time, Transformers Prime and its finale movie Predacons Rising, takes place in or rather shares the same universe as plenty of other media ranging from other TV shows, movies and even video games.

The theme here that would connect them all is that they focus on ensemble casts of characters not just living in a world where the odds are against, be they supernatural or not, but also having them go up against not just said odds but the highest stakes possible that affects them.

Top it off, the ensemble casts of characters are not the type of standard, generic, heroic superhero type of characters and instead are vastly different from each other with them being distinct and flawed type of people who would never think would be the "heroes" in these scenarios. They're way less Gerard Butler in 300, Liam Neeson in Taken or Robert Downey Jr. in later MCU movies and way more Genna Davis in The Long Kiss Goodnight, Paul Walker/Vin Diesel in The Fast and the Furious and Clive Owen in Sin City.

Another thing is that with the media here is that no matter how fantastical, grand in scale, epic and supernatural even as they all get, they ALWAYS remain either somewhat grounded OR grounded to some degree. Again for example, they're way less the crappy later Fast & Furious movies, the shitfest that is the DCEU and whatever the hell Ben 10: Omniverse was and way more the Jurassic Park Trilogy (even the third one with the 'Alan' raptor), Die Hard and Big Trouble In Little China.

Now let's get to it, shall we:

• Far Cry Primal

• Solomon Kane (2009)

• Wolfwalkers

• Pirates Of The Caribbean Trilogy

• Red Dead Redemption Duology

• The Wild Bunch

• The Mummy (1999) and The Mummy Returns

• Indiana Jones Quadrilogy

• Overlord (2018)

• Inglourious Basterds

• Kolchak: The Night Stalker

• Runaway Train

• Big Trouble In Little China

• The X Files (first nine seasons, 1998 film, Millennium and The Lone Gunmen)

• Heat (1995)

• From Dusk Till Dawn

• Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Angel

• The Incredibles

• LOST

• Heroes

• Cloverfield

• Krampus

• The Invisible Man (2020)

• Upgrade (2018)

and

• Alita: Battle Angel

[ADDED BONUS]

Whatever happened to Airachnid?

After she had drain all of her Inseticons done to nothing but the robotic bone, Airachnid was able to find a hidden yet grungy ship within the moon she was stranded on by Soundwave. Resourceful enough to make it work and turn it into her own twisted and demented ship that's all hers, Airachnid escapes and flies back to Cybertron. Learning of the death of Optimus and the war now over, Airachnid realizes she still has unfinished business she needs to settle right here and right now. She kidnaps her nemesis Arcee, who is now secretly dealing with trauma of her past once again due to Optimus' passing, and offers her an opportunity.... due to their previous fights with Arcee always winning, she managed to do the one thing no other bot or being couldn't - she impressed her. Therefore, Airachnid controls her infection and offers to Arcee that they should team up and become hunters across the galaxy but this time hunt down the worst of the worst, the most dangerous criminals there is and the deadliest of species that do nothing but cause havoc. Sensing Arcee's new PTSD and emotions after the death of Optimus Prime, Airachnid is able to use that to her advantage and manipulates her into taking the deal.... which Arcee reluctantly does.

The two of them are now bounty hunters that take in criminals of all kind throughout space whether they'd be dead or alive and as we speak, Arcee and Airachnid are awaiting their marriage this week.

Cosmere characters on social media

alright guys it’s time for the Important Question: What social media would the cosmere characters use?

Kaladin: you bet his bitter ass is on Twitter. non-negotiable. the politics of it would piss him off, but the man lives for justice. he’d be bringing attention to patreons and such (for others, not himself) and maybe tweet out self defense/medical tips, or about something sweet Syl or Oroden did (or even tweet out quotes from his father). he’d have a campaign against amaram (those tweets are liked by Bridge Four and Adolin). the only reason why he hasn’t tweeted mega angry shit about lighteyes in general is because he doesn’t want to lose his job (in bursts of bitterness he occasionally likes OTHER people’s tweets about that though. he’d feel bad for jeopardizing his code. and Syl might get onto him about it. but. at least they can’t fire him for that). he’d be pretty silent about his depression on there (by that i mean he wouldn’t make posts or draw attention to it, but he’d definitely like some mental health tweets. i feel like shallan would post something incredibly vague about the matter every now and then and he’d like all that) 

Adolin’s cheerful so he can’t be anywhere near Twitter. it would break him. honestly, he’d make pinterest boards. he’d like the organization of it all. being able to have a panel for fashion AND swords???

Vin: girl is reclusive as HELL. i feel like she’d use social media though. I’m surprised to say, maybe Instagram? or Twitter too? insta bc she’s got a girly side, but idk.. i don’t see her as the posing for pictures type. she’d have instagram but she’d like never post. at least, book 1 Vin would never post. Book 3 Vin gives updates of her and Elend on her story and maybe writes a motivational paragraph every couple of months about her own struggles and finding herself. her insta grows with her character development. she avoids celebrities as much as possible.

Vasher: bitter old man is also on twitter. actually, no. he deleted all of his social media EXCEPT twitter. he only goes on there to laugh at arguments. he gets involved maybe twice. opposite with Vin, his involvement declines with his age. Nightblood would prod him to log in, though. if he could, he’d hack in and just type “EVIL EVIL EVIL EVIL EVIL EVIL EVIL.” 

(warning you: i actually haven’t?? read?? Elantris?? yet?? or white sand??? fake fan, i know. i’m waiting for white sand at the library. and elantris is on my Christmas list.)

Shai: Devianartdevianartdevianartdevianart. she’d get blocked from there though because someone posts their art with the caption ‘mine, do not steal,” and she doesn’t, she just recreates it to near perfection and posts it as hers. so yeah. blocked. she’s bitter about it. 

Hoid: man, oh man, would any of our little human sites suffice? jk, he’s on tumblr. he’s got that energy and would be able to take on multiple different personas. now that i say that, Shallan’s here too.

Wayne: Wayne doesn’t have social media, he fiddles with whatever he’s got in his pocket and that’s that.

Dalinar: whatever social media he has, he’s bad at it. especially if he’s arguing. nobody takes him seriously. even Adolin has trouble supporting some of his posts. Kaladin likes every single one though, especially if honor’s involved.

Sazed: the man has a whole blog that only two people read, but that’s enough for him. in fact, he thinks he’s famous until he asks people irl about it and refers them to his blog. when they don’t check it out, he gets dejected, but Vin--and every now and then, with Vin’s prodding--Elend will give his stuff a like.

Siri: she’d be a vlogger. idk why she has vlogger energy, but she does. “hey I’m in Hallandren~, hI BACK HOME! VIVENNA, HERE’S MY HUSBAND. YOU KNOW, THE GUY YOU WOULD HAVE MARRIED! *Susebron blushes into the camera and says nothing*” 

Lightsong: i don’t know what social media he’s on, but wherever he is, he actually gives some really sound advice buried beneath layers of self-effacing sarcasm

Jasnah: she uses Twitter to promote whatever book she’s just published and to call out everyone’s bullshit now and again. also to piss people off.

Pattern’s like a bot. literally no one can tell if he’s actually tweeting stuff out or if it’s generated. he has the same shit recycled bUT every now and then he’ll post about a discovery (which Syl will like and comment on like, “Oh! I remember finding out about MATING, something Kaladin won’t do!”). sometimes he’ll post something about Shallan and.. she was Very embarassed the first time it happened. However, talking to Pattern proved to be a long and ultimately fruitless conversation. Pattern still doesn’t understand why Shallan doesn’t like that, just that she doesn’t. he only talks about it occasionally, now. at least, online.

Elend: Goodreads! He’s also got something on the side--probably Instagram, actually, to be all ‘I LOVE MY WIFE!’ Kelsier. Cannot. STAND. IT. Elend notices that every one of Vin’s posts has received a like from Kelsier. nothing of Elend’s has ever been liked.

Feel free to add onto this!

How Harry Styles Became A Modern Style Icon

by Phoe­be Luck­hurst - Evening Standard 15/11/19

A man wrought in the fires of teenage boy­band hy­per-stardom is not afraid of a lit­tle commotion. Still when Harry Styles — the One Di­rec­tion mat­inée idol turned lan­guid Gen Z icon — tweeted, at 1.01 pm GMT on Wed­nes­day af­ter­noon, that he would be tak­ing his up­com­ing album Fine Line on tour, you could, if at­tuned to the cor­rect de­mo­graphic fre­quency, hear the howl echo around the in­ter­net: gut­tural, hun­gry, ul­u­lat­ing. This was a pseudo-re­li­gious experience: one vi­ral meme de­picted the Pope hold­ing a copy of his al­bum aloft. The announce­ment has been retweeted al­most 70,000 times.

The 25-year old is a tour vet­eran — he spent five years and five al­bums strapped to the thunder­ing 1D jug­ger­naut — but this new tour is his first as a bona fide solo brand. The al­bum, his first in two years, is synth-soaked and soul­ful, the al­bum’s aes­thetic fever­-dreamy. Granted, he’s not the first per­son to go to So­Cal, try a few magic mush­rooms and de­clare him­self radically trans­formed, but the re­sults are be­guil­ing — and cer­tainly a world away from his years as a Simon Cow­ell Ken doll. Since his last record, he has co- hosted t he Met Gala and been reborn as an Alessan­dro Michele muse. This is your Styles crib sheet.

Melody maker

Styles’s new al­bum — writ­ten un­der a tie-dye mist af­ter tak­ing the afore­men­tioned psychedelics, which also re­sulted in a mishap in which he bit off the tip of his tongue — is “all about hav­ing sex and feel­ing sad”, which, granted, as a topline, does not wildly dif­fer­en­ti­ate the record from the genre of “al l other mu­sic ever”. Still, the early signs for Fine Line are encouraging. Its first sin­gle, Lights Up—which has been streamed al­most 100 mil­lion times on Spo­tify —is­ synth-y, soul­ful, un­der­stat­edly an­themic, very dif­fer­ent to, and bet­ter than, the lead sin­gle on his last solo record, the Seven­ties, soft-rock Sign of the Times( it still, of course, hit No 1), and very, very dif­fer­ent from any­thing he did with 1D. Many thou­sands of words have been writ­ten about whether there is a bi­sex­ual sub­text to Lights Up. It has been noted that the song was re­leased on Na­tional Com­ing Out Day, that Styles’s sex­u­al­ity has been sub­ject to fren­zied specu­la­tion be­fore, the video fea­tures an oiled-up, top­less Styles gy­rat­ing around men and women, and that the lyrics (“Shine, I’m not ever go­ing back/ Shine, step into the light”) could be in­ter­preted as a mean­ing­ful rev­e­la­tion of sorts. Cer­tainly, he has be­come a queer icon — especially with Gen Z — who are thrilled by his se­lec­tion of gen­derqueer singer-song­writer King Princess as his sup­port act for the Euro­pean part of his tour. Speak­ing of col­lab­o­ra­tors, Styles worked on the al­bum with pro­duc­ers Tyler John­son, who has worked with Tay­lor Swift, Mi­ley Cyrus and Ed Sheeran, and Jeff Bhasker, who has collabo­rated wit h Mark Ron­son and Kanye West, and his friend, Tom Hull, aka Kid Har­poon, who co-wrote Shake It Out for Florence + The Ma­chine. He has also been granted a fairy god­mother: Ste­vie Nicks, who called him her “lit­tle muse” at Fleetwood Mac’s hyped Wembley head­line gig i n J une. “S he’s a l ways there for you,” Styles has said in the past. “She knows what you need: ad­vice, a lit­tle wis­dom, a blouse, a shawl.” Sure.

Got Styles

Any young man raised in the white heat of a boy­band spot­light must be granted the space to find his fash­ion path; Styles has done so with no mis­steps and ex­u­ber­ant plea­sure. Once upon a time, he would sem­a­phore his in­di­vid­u­al­ity with a ban­dana; now, he turns up to a cover interview with Rolling Stone in a white floppy hat, blue denim bell-bot­toms and Gucci shades, his nails coloured pink and green. His favourite trousers, un­til he lost them on the beach, were a pair of mus­tard cor­duroy flares; this week, he wore a Lan­vin sweater vest with a sheep de­sign that sent a co­terie of Lon­don menswear stylists into throes of ec­stasy. He wears flo­ral suits and Cuban heels, ruf­fled, New Ro­man­tic shirts, Charles Jef­frey jump­suits and pussy- bow blouses. It is flam­boy­ant, self-con­sciously Bowie/Jag­ger, and in Gen Z par­lance, “very ex­tra”. His stylist Harry Lam­bert is par­tial to an ex­trav­a­gant col­lar, dra­matic neck­line and a vo­lu­mi­nous trouser.

Be­sides Lam­bert, an­other part of this evo­lu­tion has been his re­la­tion­ship with Gucci’s cre­ative di­rec­tor Michele, who has turned the Ital­ian her­itage brand into the ul­ti­mate post-gen­der lux­ury fash­ion la­bel, the first to merge their menswear and wom­enswear, and dis­patch male mod­els down the cat­walk in dresses and women in suits. A good look for a Gen Z idol.

With the brand

Notably, the brand­ing on this al­bum and its tour art­work is con­sis­tent with this new look Styles. The al­bum cover fea­tures Styles i n white cus­tom- made Gucci bell bot­toms and a Pep­to Bismol-pink shirt, open al­most to the waist, shot by mod-goth Tim Walker with a fish­eye lens (it is Walker’s hand in that S&M glove you can see in the left-hand cor­ner). In the dreamy video for Lights Up he wears a glit­tery suit and sus­penders, in a sort of hal­lu­ci­na­tory ver­sion of Satur­day Night Fever. Into it.

Stand up

Then there’s his voice — not the mu­sic, but the ac­tivism. Even as one-fifth of a boy­band manufac­tured by Cow­ell’s al­go­rithm, he was quick, quippy and itch­ing to go off-mes­sage; but now that he con­trols his own, he is am­pli­fy­ing causes such as Black Lives Mat­ter and End Gun Violence. He wore stick­ers for both on his gui­tar on his last tour, which might sound small, except that photographs of Styles gal­lop around the dig­i­tal world at hy­per­speed. At con­certs, he has waved pride, bi and trans flags, and a Black Lives Mat­ter flag. He once bor­rowed a flag from an au­di­ence mem­ber at a show in Philadel­phia that read, “Make Amer­ica Gay Again”. At a show on his last tour, he de­clared: “If you are black, if you are white, if you are gay, if you are straight, if you are trans­gen­der — who­ever you are, who­ever you want to be, I sup­port you.”

A vo­cal, en­gaged fan­dom of teenage girls minted his mul­ti­mil­lion-pound for­tune; he is loyal and ad­mir­ing of their zeal. “They’re the most hon­est — es­pe­cially if you’re talk­ing about teenage girls, but older as well,” he told Rolling Stone this sum­mer. “They have that bull­shit de­tec­tor. We’re so past that dumb out­dated nar­ra­tive of ‘Oh, these peo­ple are girls, so they don’t know what they’re talk­ing about.’ They’re the ones who know what they’re talk­ing about. They’re the peo­ple who lis­ten ob­ses­sively. They f***ing own this shit. They’re run­ning it.” Ob­vi­ously, he’s a fem­i­nist. “Of course men and women should be equal. I don’t want credit for be­ing a fem­i­nist. I think the ideals of fem­i­nism are pretty straight­for­ward.” An icon is born.

A New Bot

3 AM. No matter how many times it happens, it never seems to get easier. It seemed like Vin had just put Aria down to sleep and now she's awake, crying. Vin got out of bed and made his way to Aria's room. Rubbing his eyes, he flicked on the light. He hadn't noticed her crying had stopped. When he looked up, he saw a robotic figure standing next to Aria's bed, holding his daughter in its arms.

His heart skipped a beat. What is this thing? Why is it holding his little girl? Vin did the only thing he could think of.

"ALEEEEEXXXXXX!"

Moments later, the sound of rushing footsteps pounded in the hall. The footsteps skidded to a stop outside the door.

"What is it? What's wrong??"

Alex scanned the room, laser gun in hand.

"What is this thing? Why is it holding Aria??"

"Oh! Vin, it's ok. Do you remember the incubation device she was in?"

"Yeah..?"

"This is its second form. I forgot, you ran off before I told Hat-Man about it. It's designed to not only assist you two with Aria, but also take over duties for 505."

"Oh... Does it have a name?"

"Uh... well, no. It seems having trouble naming things runs in the family."

"We could ask for help."

(The scene changes to show the mods, who are sitting in an empty room, looking pointedly at the camera. You all know what to do!)

May I present to you- the babs

Okay so let me start off by saying I legit worked on these guys ALL day yesterday, mind you a few breaks of course! even then uhh breaks... didnt do me much good... my arm hurt like a b i t c h- but im super proud- god, just, these babs are gonna be fun to write with ....eventually- not now- god no- arm machine broke- I’ll put this under a keep reading btw so it aint too much a hassle

Names: Ashton (Ashton is the Sniper), Vincent (Vincent is the Spy and he's the leader of the group), and finally Erwin (he's the Medic) | Nicknames: Ash, Vin (Ash loves to call him Vinny much to his dismay but eh he'll be fine), and Erwin doesn't really have any nicknames he cares for tbh- just call him by his name | Genders: Male | Species/Race: Androids/Robots | Heights: Ashton is 8'7", Vincent is 9'5" making him the tallest of the group, and Erwin is only 5'0" making him the shortest of our lovely little group here | Hair Colors: Ashton's hair color (not that'll ye'll see much of it, he usually keeps his hat on) but his hair color is: Hickory Brown and honestly its just super messy underneath that hat, Vincent's hair is Pitch Black and slicked back, annnd finally Erwin's hair is dyed a: Mint Green (his hair is a Messy Undercut style) | Eye Colors: Ashton's is an Icy Blue, Vincent's is Imperial Red, and Erwin has heterochromia, his eyes are a light pastel blue and a Mint Green color | Appearances: Let's start off with Ashton bc why not, first off I gotta say- despite what the normal tf2 bots look like, these babs ACTUALLY look like r e a l mercs, real people, there's only a few ways to tell their androids and that's by looking closely at their open wounds which I'll get to all their prominent wounds in a moment, first up... Ashton usually wears punk-like clothing, or something similar- he has leather jackets with TONS of spikes on them, gloves with spikes on them, pants with the chains that hang down and don't forget them sweet sweet combat boots, he also tends to wear some of those face masks, most of the ones he owns has sharp teeth patterns on it but one in particular that he owns has eyes all over it (all of them are black, his clothing is either black or just REALLY dark colors in general) However, when Vincent and them aren't doing business stuff or whatever, he usually wears again, its mostly dark clothing but he doesn't give a shit what he wears like, t-shirts, tank-tops, whatever- that's when you can PROPERLY see his wounds and this android has a TON of them, v e r y open wounds that expose tons of wiring and robotic-y insides as well, so many various parts, so many w i r e s... just o o f- oh and for all of them I'll say they ALL have facial hair, Ashton has a circle beard, Vincent has a short boxed beard, and Erwin's is REALLY just stubble to get that out of the way, ahem- anyways, Ashton actually DOES have sharp teeth, a few rows of them actually. Now... Onto big boss man Vincent, Vincent is a fancy man for sure, fitting considering he's supposed to be an android/robot of the Spy, like Ashton, he H A T E S bright colored clothing but its for different reasons aside from bright ones just being irritating to look at, it also messes with his sensors actually, he's the only one out of the group who has that problem- the other's sensors aren't bothered at all by bright clothing, anyways- Vincent usually wears dark colored suits, not just black n brown though he has MULTIPLE options, dark red, dark blue, etc- I could go on- he has a LOT of fancy clothing, even his s h o e s are fancy, oh and uh he wears the typical leather gloves and that balaclava/ski mask lookin thing ya know the usual spy attire there blah blah, he also sometimes wears fedoras or some sorta fancy hat n stuff, unlike Ashton he doesn't have rows of razor bladed teeth, his teeth are just- normal tbh but that doesn't make him any less dangerous- he has a few wounds actually, one on his back that reveals some robotic parts and has a few wires sticking out although it doesn't seem to bother him too much, a has a really large stab wound on his chest that has some wires sticking out of there as well and reveals some rather serious looking parts- this one actually bothers him a little bit but he tries his damnedest to keep it hidden. and finally... Erwin, he usually wears pastel clothing with cute designs on them long sleeved t-shirts, hoodies, sweaters, etc- even his p a n t s are pastel colors! He does try to make sure the pastels aren't TOO bright or anything, he doesn't want Vincent's sensors to malfunction nor does he want to irritate his friends! He has TONS of openings that'd reveal a BUNCH of tattered wires, its a wonder he's even still functional at this point, a lot of his parts and wires are tattered and not in a VERY good condition, but he doesn't seem to let it stop him! His voice box is a little... messed up but he's still fully intelligible, sometimes it DOES make him stutter, sometimes it cuts out completely but he always somehow finishes his sentences in the end even if he has to start over, he's self conscious about his voice box messing up sometimes and he's DEFINITELY self conscious about all the scars he has over him, its partially why he wears hoodies/sweaters the MOST out of all the other clothing, he doesn't want people to see all his tattered wires n scars! He does have four prominent canines but other than that, his teeth are relatively like a normal human's. oh and as a bonus he usually wears circle glasses, it CAN technically help improve his vision a bit more but also they look cute so he loves them shh. | Personalities: Ashton's up first, now I will say even tho their robots and technically powerhouses compared to humans ANYWAYS- he IS the true powerhouse of the group, the b r u t e- BUT he's not all brawn and no brains, he's not stupid by any means even if he can act like a punk or cold rude bitch, he has a l o t of intelligence in fact- and he uses that to his advantage for sure, he's not entirely a cold rude bitch- to his friends he's relatively well, friendly and nice- even if he does mess with them sometimes- he loves to get on Vincent's nerves the most because he finds it funny mostly, but he knows when to stop so he doesn't take things too far, Erwin... messing with him can be... difficult, he uh- its not that he CANT do it, he can! He TOTALLY can its just... listen, shut up- Spy's his fave to mess with- He absolutely hates humanity, their creators especially more so- if he ever saw em or hell humans in general when he sees em- it always takes e v e r y t h i n g in his power to hold himself back from tearing them to shreds, he wouldn't even w a n t to use a gun against them despite being based off a Sniper, he'll take them apart with his strength and teeth alone if he REALLY wants! After all, making them suffer first would bring him such joy, he's not evil, none of them REALLY are, but I'll explain that all in side facts, for now (tl;dr: Ashton gets along quite well with his friends even if he messes with Vincent a lot and gets on his nerves, in fact that's when you'll see him a bit more cheerier than he usually is, now... towards humans or whatever, he's a g g r e s s i v e- he'll strike them down then and there if Vincent gives him the command, but even if he c a n t, he'll still be cold or rude to em at the very least, terrify them a little bit even- he does NOT like humans at all whatsoever) Vincent... as I've stated, he's the leader of the group, he's DEFINITELY got the perfect personality to be a leader for sure, first off he has MAJOR confidence- he's a super confident dude, he REALLY kinda has to be- after all, his role was the leader of this little group- it was forced upon him so he decided to go along with it- they wanted him to be leader so he'll fulfill that position but if he e v e r gets a hold of them their gonna wish they hadn't e v e r done what they did, he DOES have some narcissistic tendencies but its nothing TOO major, he can be suave and gentlemanly but that part is usually just an act to trick people, he plays nice and makes them think he's trustworthy and then that's when they strike, its a m a z i n g to him how naive and so trusting humanity can be, he can't w a i t to get his hands on their creators, what a f u n day that'll be! Now he's not all big and bad, he can be nice to his friends- he does have a bit of snark and sass but its all in good fun, he mostly keeps it directed towards Ashton but sometimes he'll dish out some snark or sass towards Erwin ...he seems oblivious to that part tbh- but he... even though he doesn't show it a LOT he does care about them a lot, they've been there for him ever since the day they were first created, he absolutely loathes and despises humans- he always uses an act to just lure them to either their death OR, to a little interrogation room where he tries to find out if they know a n y t h i n g about their creator, I mean either way they do kinda die in the end so it really doesn't matter and finally Erwin, he's... a lot nicer than the other two, he doesn't hold a grudge towards his creators nor especially not to humanity, not ALL of them are as bad as Vincent and Ashton think surely... not that he'd ever tell them he doesn't hold grudges or whatever, he's worried he'd ruin their plans or worse, make them mad at him- so he pretends to hate humans when their around, he's actually helped his fair sure of humans escape from the others as well, now sure he DID try and ask a few of them about the creator, when they said they knew nothing he managed to lead them safely away without the others detecting them, now I won't say he's ALWAYS been lucky- sometimes the other two... catch him in the act and he almost had something equivalent to an a n x i e t y attack when they caught him but he played it off by telling them he saw this human wandering around and he also tried to play it off like he interrogated them and they knew nothing about the creators, but of course they uh... wanted to... "take care" of the human for him and he couldn't risk arguing against they'd suspect too much bc he's never been one for killing or whatever (despite being a version of a Medic lmao), there's been a lot of those times where he's felt so guilty for letting them take the human... They didn't know anything, they didn't even seem bad, why kill them? He knows their angry, they want revenge but something seems wrong... but, he'd n e v e r go against his friends, no matter how he feels- they've been there for him through thick and thin and he cares a LOT about them despite this (p much he's a good boy, he can get nervous/anxious sometimes, he just... wants his friends to be happy and rest easy really, he cares a lot about them despite all they do, he's deeply afraid if they find out what he's done or that he doesn't have grudges, etc- that they'll be a n g r y with HIM) | Side Facts: Alright, so... the best run down I can give is this... They didnt really wanna be created in the first place BUT they tolerated it- like ok chill, we gotta tolerate existing now- but then like they were pretty much abandoned bc they were discontinued, bc the tf2 bots look like actual robots, im making these guys more like androids as you already know im sure- closer resemblances to the actual human mercs n shit- but ANYWAYS- something happened and they didnt want to continue making androids like them so the three of them got left behind and of course were thought to be shut down but surprise surprise, their still active, their still out there and their. fucking. l i v i d- first they didnt really wanna exist in the first place, ok they could chill out bout that bc they learned to deal with it BUT- N O W their being discontinued? They dont even have a full t e a m!! its bullshit so now their a wee bit- okay no they are absolutely fucking livid at the creators and humanity in general- except, as you know- Erwin can't hold grudges or anything- he doesnt think ALL humans are bad or at least he hopes their not, but either way- Vincent and Ashton p much feel hatred n coldness towards the creators and humanity. | AU: So a best bud of mine suggested since I had like t w o really good ideas for these lads and couldnt use both of them bc it'd like conflict with many things, to make an AU outta the second idea- I- honestly gotta thank em for fuckin reminding me that AUs are a t h i n g that e x i s t s- but anyways, this AU is basically where Ashton, Vincent, and Erwin died and the respawn, sorta... well broke for em, dont know why or how but it just did, so they died for reals and just... their souls wandered the earth for a bit until they found the bodies of these robots and decided to possess them p much, and now since they died for real- they REALLY wanna return the favor to the ones who killed em (of course, not gonna tell who that was e x a c t l y not yet anyways), I will say their personalities will probably differ from canon a LITTLE bit in this regard, like their still- well in this AU their MORE vengeful than they could EVER be in canonverse- even Erwin in this AU is vengeful, only towards those who did em wrong of course. and with a conversation I had with my partner, there was more expansion that happened, essentially- it was questions of the teammates and what'd happen there (thank you darling, I appreciate this bc this just gave the AU more expansion that I really wasnt just thinking bout on my own), bc if they didnt go back to their teammates they'd be without the supports and ahem, the medic- but anyways, if they did wwweeeellll... their team wouldn't EXACTLY recognize it as them, to them its just potential enemy bots that they need to dispose of orrr at least run off, and that's what they'd definitely do at first, now I will say, there's the chance oh Idk, Erwin interacts with the Heavy (listen... I dont have canon names for this team... im- im too tired to figure it out rn for all the team sdjkajdj they will have to wait for awhile) but Erwin and the Heavy were VERY good close friends, and Erwin could show him that, he's... well, his best bud- they ALL had certain things they used to do or say to their teammates- and ya know if Erwin proved that to Heavy- he'd- well, a lotta emotions would be running wild in that case, of course im getting a head of myself- I should have clarified, bc the team k n o w s the others died and weren't respawning which of course they absolutely tried to deny- they'd be back soon ....yeeaahh they werent, and like now they do find it suspicious these three bots showed up that are designed like the supports but they'd never go that far to say its their dead teammates possessing these... robots, that's a little far-fetched for them. So unless Erwin goes and tries to convince his best friend, who knows what'll happen- oh and I'll also say, aside from the personalities- the actual human versions of Ashton, Vincent, and Erwin would look a LITTLE different- they still wear the same clothes n have similar features, they have scars but those don't reveal tattered wires since their humans you know, and their eye colors- Ashton's eyes are Cobalt Blue, Erwin's eyes are baby blue, and Vincent's eyes are a Caramel Brown, they also don't have those sharp teeth or fangs- oh and their heights are different, Ashton is 6'4", Vincent is 6'8", annnd Erwin- eh he's the same height the bots of course, still retain the same look as in canonverse however so try not to get too confused by different appearances!

Paolo Roberto

Paolo Roberto greps när polisen slog till mot en lägenhetsbordell på Grevgatan på Östermalm i Stockholm. Först så blev hans identitet anonymiserad som “tv-stjärna”, men sedan valde han själv att träda fram, vilket förmodligen var hans livs sämsta beslut – speciellt i dessa tider då den dagliga rapporteringen ideligen handlat om det nu så uttömda ämnet covid-19, varpå Paolo Robertos taskviftande bidrar till en frisk vind i nyhetsflödet. Nedanstående artikeln i Expressen innehåller ju en sexskandal i kombination av kändisskvaller, vilket torde tilltala dom flesta medborgare.

Jag är inte på något vis förespråkare av dem som för egen vinning skull idkar tillfredsställde genom ett kvinnligt arrende, men jag är inte heller för ett förpassande till 1600-talets häxjakt där alla med ståfräs skall brännas på bål. Att stävja trafficking genom att agera sutenör och ta ut ett arvode, kallad bot, från alla som ertappats med drulen i hålet är enligt mitt förmenade inte rätt väg att gå, utan här får myndigheterna tänka i ett vidare perspektiv och samverka med andra länders polisorganisationer istället för att stå vid gränderna och flåsa i takt.

I en intervju med Jenny Strömstedt i TV4 erkände Paolo att han hade köpt sex. Det må så vara att man begår en fadäs, men varför skall man sitta och pladdra om det i televisionen. Detta lösmynte där Paolo uttryckligen säger ”du köper en annan kvinnas kropp, säkert någon som är dittvingad.” har nu resulterat i ett paragraf granskande om oaktsam våldtäkt, vilket är en ren galenskap. Paolo har ju köpt sex – hur kan detta köp förvandlas till våld? Med dagens dåraktiga sexlagsstiftning så skulle man ju kunna implementera liktydiga lagtexter gällande andra områden där exempelvis en rutt på ICA skulle kunna resultera i mjölkvåld, brödvåld – eller varför inte, att man förgriper sig på en Yesflaska med citronlukt, eller ta välde över en Cillit Bang. Herr Roberto skulle nog anammat talesättet – att tala är silver medan tiga äro guld.

Kvinnan i fråga som enligt uppgift härrör från ett fattigt land har schappat till hemlig ort. Hon vill inte träda fram inför offentligheten – hon mår så dåligt då det hela förknippas med så mycket skam. Det hela torde ju bli mindre skamset då denne nu kommit till insikt att hon snaskat daggmask på självaste celebriteten för Farmen.

Det är nog för många helt obegripligt hur Paolo Roberto kan underkasta sig denna förnedring och utgift då det förmodligen finns många hugade spekulanter som med stor entusiasm skulle anta sig denna farmenlem – hans fru är väll en av dom. Som om inte detta vore nog så vill staten nu också profitera på eleändet genom att ta ut en pålaga om 25.000 kronor, vilket tycks vara helt i sin ordning.

Paolo Roberto utreds för oaktsam våldtäkt

Expressen den 18 maj 2020

-Det är förknippat med väldigt mycket skam, säger Simon Häggström, kriminalinspektör via Nationella operativa avdelningen, till DN.

Nu ska Robertos erkännande i TV4 granskas av åklagare – flera experter menar att han kan ha gjort sig skyldig till oaktsam våldtäkt.

Under hela förmiddagen hade Anneli Hanström, chefsåklagare vid City åklagarkammare, överläggningar med chefsåklagare Erika Lejnefors om hur ärendet med Paolo Robertos sexköp skulle hanteras. På söndagen lämnade åklagarmyndigheten besked om att det skulle hanteras av mängdbrottsenheten men vid lunch kom nytt besked.

Bakgrunden till chefsåklagarnas överläggningar har inte varit att ärendet handlar om en känd person, det är Expressens uppgiftslämnare noga med att påpeka.

Intresset för fallet förklaras av att åklagare har en skyldighet att reagera på även det som kommer fram utanför polisens utredningar och här var det avgörande för intresset Paolo Robertos uttalande i TV4-intervjun där han efter sexköpet konstaterade:

-Du köper en annan kvinnas kropp, säkert någon som är dittvingad.

Förknippat med skam

I fredags nåddes Expressen av uppgifter om att kvinnan, som kommer från ett av Europas fattigaste länder, inte längre fanns kvar på adressen där tillslaget skett. Nu bekräftar kriminalinspektör Simon Häggström för DN att kvinnan befinner sig på annan ort. Det är inte aktuellt för henne att framträda i medierna på det sätt som Paolo Roberto gjort.

-Hon mår så pass dåligt att hon inte orkar prata om detta. Det är förknippat med väldigt mycket skam, säger Simon Häggström, kriminalinspektör via Nationella operativa avdelningen, till tidningen.

-Hon uppger att hon säljer sex på grund av omständigheter i livet som inte ger henne några val. Hon säljer sex för att kunna försörja sin familj, säger Häggström till Aftonbladet.

I en annan uppmärksammad bordellhärva på Östermalm, där rättegång för människohandel nu pågår, har flera kvinnor och flickor från Rumänien vittnat om hur livet som prostituerad i Sverige såg ut.

En 15-åring har sagt:

-Jag visste vad jag skulle göra. Jag menar, jag visste att jag skulle utföra eskorttjänster i Sverige. Hon (kvinnan) berättade för mig att jag skulle utföra sexuella tjänster (…) och få allt jag önskat mig.

I teorin lät det som ett enkelt sätt att tjäna pengar.

-Men när jag kom fram till Sverige och började utöva prostitution tyckte jag det var extremt svårt, säger flickan.

Gått med på dagsböter

Paolo Roberto har själv gått med på att betala 50 dagsböter, totalt 25 000 kronor, i ett strafföreläggande för brottet köp av sexuell tjänst precis som flera andra som togs i förra veckans sexköpsrazzia.

Polisens utredningar lämnades på måndagen över till den så kallade mängdbrottsenheten vid åklagarkammaren i Västerort i Stockholm. Den enheten utfärdar normalt strafförelägganden för sexköpare som erkänt.

Men Paolo Robertos fall specialgranskades med tanke på hans uttalande i TV4 som inte passerade obemärkt inom åklagarmyndigheten. Eva Thunegard, som är chef för Stockholms åklagarområde och de olika åklagarkamrarna, var också inblandad i överläggningarna.

Och vid lunch fattade chefsåklagarna vid Västerort och Citys åklagarkammare beslut om att Paolo Robertos fall ska flyttas över från mängdbrottsåklagarna i Västerort som utfärdar strafföreläggande.

”Fått anmälningar”

City åklagarkammare har under de senaste dagarna fått ta emot flera anmälningar om oaktsam våldtäkt som riktats mot Paolo Roberto och de ska nu utredas vidare under ledning av en erfaren åklagare i Stockholms city eftersom sexköpet ägde rum på Östermalm.

-Vi har fått anmälningar om oaktsam våldtäkt som vi ska samordna så att vi har båda utredningarna på citykammaren. Någon annan kommentar kommer jag inte att lämna i nuläget, säger Anneli Hanström vid åklagarkammaren.

Finns det misstankar nu om oaktsam våldtäkt?

-Jag kommer inte att kommentera detta.

Senare på måndagseftermiddagen gjorde åklagarmyndigheten ett uttalande:

”En polisanmälan om oaktsam våldtäkt har inkommit i det ärende där en känd man har erkänt köp av sexuell tjänst. Utredningen om köp av sexuell tjänst och oaktsam våldtäkt leds av åklagare vid City åklagarkammare.”

Det blir den erfarna kammaråklagare Daniel Suneson som får uppdraget att utreda Paolo Roberto-fallet. Han är specialiserad på sexualmål men har också haft uppmärksammade mål som rättegången mot den amerikanska artisten Rakim ”Asap Rocky” Mayers förra sommaren.

Flera rättsexperter reagerade på Paolo Robertos uttalande i TV4-intervjun och bland annat menade advokat Elisabeth Massi Fritz, som ofta företräder brottsoffer i sexualmål, att Paolo Roberto kan ha gjort sig skyldig till oaktsam våldtäkt.

”Paulo Robertos uttalande i den intervju han gjorde för TV4 borde leda till att en åklagare inleder en förundersökning angående misstankar om oaktsam våldtäkt”, skrev hon i ett sms till Expressen.

Detta lösmynte där Paolo uttryckligen säger ”du köper en annan kvinnas kropp, säkert någon som är dittvingad.” har nu resulterat i ett paragraf granskande om oaktsam våldtäkt, vilket är en ren galenskap. Paolo har ju köpt sex – hur kan detta köp förvandlas till våld? Med dagens dåraktiga sexlagsstiftning så skulle man ju kunna implementera liktydiga lagtexter gällande andra områden där exempelvis en rutt på ICA skulle kunna resultera i mjölkvåld, brödvåld – eller varför inte, att man förgriper sig på en Yesflaska med citronlukt, eller ta välde över en Cillit Bang. Herr Roberto skulle nog anammat talesättet – att tala är silver medan tiga äro guld.

Kvinnan i fråga som enligt uppgift härrör från ett fattigt land har schappat till hemlig ort. Hon vill inte träda fram inför offentligheten – hon mår så dåligt då det hela förknippas med så mycket skam. Det hela torde ju bli mindre skamset då denne nu kommit till insikt att hon snaskat daggmask på självaste celebriteten för Farmen.

Det är nog för många helt obegripligt hur Paolo Roberto kan underkasta sig denna förnedring och utgift då det förmodligen finns många hugade spekulanter som med stor entusiasm skulle anta sig denna farmenlem – hans fru är väll en av dom. Som om inte detta vore nog så vill staten nu också profitera på eleändet genom att ta ut en pålaga om 25.000 kronor, vilket tycks vara helt i sin ordning.

Paolo Roberto utreds för oaktsam våldtäkt

Expressen den 18 maj 2020

-Det är förknippat med väldigt mycket skam, säger Simon Häggström, kriminalinspektör via Nationella operativa avdelningen, till DN.

Nu ska Robertos erkännande i TV4 granskas av åklagare – flera experter menar att han kan ha gjort sig skyldig till oaktsam våldtäkt.

Under hela förmiddagen hade Anneli Hanström, chefsåklagare vid City åklagarkammare, överläggningar med chefsåklagare Erika Lejnefors om hur ärendet med Paolo Robertos sexköp skulle hanteras. På söndagen lämnade åklagarmyndigheten besked om att det skulle hanteras av mängdbrottsenheten men vid lunch kom nytt besked.

Bakgrunden till chefsåklagarnas överläggningar har inte varit att ärendet handlar om en känd person, det är Expressens uppgiftslämnare noga med att påpeka.

Intresset för fallet förklaras av att åklagare har en skyldighet att reagera på även det som kommer fram utanför polisens utredningar och här var det avgörande för intresset Paolo Robertos uttalande i TV4-intervjun där han efter sexköpet konstaterade:

-Du köper en annan kvinnas kropp, säkert någon som är dittvingad.

Förknippat med skam

I fredags nåddes Expressen av uppgifter om att kvinnan, som kommer från ett av Europas fattigaste länder, inte längre fanns kvar på adressen där tillslaget skett. Nu bekräftar kriminalinspektör Simon Häggström för DN att kvinnan befinner sig på annan ort. Det är inte aktuellt för henne att framträda i medierna på det sätt som Paolo Roberto gjort.

-Hon mår så pass dåligt att hon inte orkar prata om detta. Det är förknippat med väldigt mycket skam, säger Simon Häggström, kriminalinspektör via Nationella operativa avdelningen, till tidningen.

-Hon uppger att hon säljer sex på grund av omständigheter i livet som inte ger henne några val. Hon säljer sex för att kunna försörja sin familj, säger Häggström till Aftonbladet.

I en annan uppmärksammad bordellhärva på Östermalm, där rättegång för människohandel nu pågår, har flera kvinnor och flickor från Rumänien vittnat om hur livet som prostituerad i Sverige såg ut.

En 15-åring har sagt:

-Jag visste vad jag skulle göra. Jag menar, jag visste att jag skulle utföra eskorttjänster i Sverige. Hon (kvinnan) berättade för mig att jag skulle utföra sexuella tjänster (…) och få allt jag önskat mig.

I teorin lät det som ett enkelt sätt att tjäna pengar.

-Men när jag kom fram till Sverige och började utöva prostitution tyckte jag det var extremt svårt, säger flickan.

Gått med på dagsböter

Paolo Roberto har själv gått med på att betala 50 dagsböter, totalt 25 000 kronor, i ett strafföreläggande för brottet köp av sexuell tjänst precis som flera andra som togs i förra veckans sexköpsrazzia.

Polisens utredningar lämnades på måndagen över till den så kallade mängdbrottsenheten vid åklagarkammaren i Västerort i Stockholm. Den enheten utfärdar normalt strafförelägganden för sexköpare som erkänt.

Men Paolo Robertos fall specialgranskades med tanke på hans uttalande i TV4 som inte passerade obemärkt inom åklagarmyndigheten. Eva Thunegard, som är chef för Stockholms åklagarområde och de olika åklagarkamrarna, var också inblandad i överläggningarna.

Och vid lunch fattade chefsåklagarna vid Västerort och Citys åklagarkammare beslut om att Paolo Robertos fall ska flyttas över från mängdbrottsåklagarna i Västerort som utfärdar strafföreläggande.

”Fått anmälningar”

City åklagarkammare har under de senaste dagarna fått ta emot flera anmälningar om oaktsam våldtäkt som riktats mot Paolo Roberto och de ska nu utredas vidare under ledning av en erfaren åklagare i Stockholms city eftersom sexköpet ägde rum på Östermalm.

-Vi har fått anmälningar om oaktsam våldtäkt som vi ska samordna så att vi har båda utredningarna på citykammaren. Någon annan kommentar kommer jag inte att lämna i nuläget, säger Anneli Hanström vid åklagarkammaren.

Finns det misstankar nu om oaktsam våldtäkt?

-Jag kommer inte att kommentera detta.

Senare på måndagseftermiddagen gjorde åklagarmyndigheten ett uttalande:

”En polisanmälan om oaktsam våldtäkt har inkommit i det ärende där en känd man har erkänt köp av sexuell tjänst. Utredningen om köp av sexuell tjänst och oaktsam våldtäkt leds av åklagare vid City åklagarkammare.”

Det blir den erfarna kammaråklagare Daniel Suneson som får uppdraget att utreda Paolo Roberto-fallet. Han är specialiserad på sexualmål men har också haft uppmärksammade mål som rättegången mot den amerikanska artisten Rakim ”Asap Rocky” Mayers förra sommaren.

Flera rättsexperter reagerade på Paolo Robertos uttalande i TV4-intervjun och bland annat menade advokat Elisabeth Massi Fritz, som ofta företräder brottsoffer i sexualmål, att Paolo Roberto kan ha gjort sig skyldig till oaktsam våldtäkt.

”Paulo Robertos uttalande i den intervju han gjorde för TV4 borde leda till att en åklagare inleder en förundersökning angående misstankar om oaktsam våldtäkt”, skrev hon i ett sms till Expressen.

En evighetslång text om mitt 2021 ingen bett om

Den fjärde januari skriver jag ett mail till mitt framtida jag. Tagen av konceptet tid och det nyår gör med en, går jag in på futureme.org och formulerar en lägesrapport. Mina fingrar dansar över tangentbordet. Livet är så enkelt just nu. Vackert till och med.

För några dagar sedan bjöd jag och Victor in till nyårsfest. Nästan alla vi bryr oss om var där. Vi lagade trerätters, tävlade i nyårsquiz och bråkade om årets bästa låtar. Hade fixat små gästböcker som folk skrev blödiga hälsningar i till varandra. Du e snygg, skrev han – den store poeten – i min.

Sen gick alla gäster. Vi smällde ballonger och plockade undan halvdruckna ölburkar medan vi såg på varandra och konstaterade att det bästa med året som gått var varandra.

I februari hoppas jag det mailet aldrig kommer fram. Han har lämnat mig och allt annat värt att nämna i det brevet har gått förlorat. Jag kommer alltså pissa mig själv i ansiktet när det trillar in i inkorgen om ett år. Kanon. Formulär 1A i Jinx: jag.

Det är väl hundåren. Extremt mörkt om det inte är det, men det fungerar som en tröst. Planlöst pulsar jag fram i snön över söders höjder och megalomaniskt tänker hur filmiskt detta är. Boken om Mig måste innehålla kapitel om denna uppförsbacke till tid. Hur det varje dag duttade ner tårar i stekpannan och hur jag satt i ett nedsläckt badrum till spellistan Sad Indie som den förutsägbara människa jag är.

Känner mig djupt besjälad med kvinnosläktet och väljer att jobba på mig själv istället. Trött på att plugga. Skriver ett mail i natten till Fredrik Strage och frågar hur man gör, alltså börjar skriva, utan att känna någon som gör detsamma. Horar ut mig på Linkedin och söker en miljon jobb.

Mina polare är – i brist på bättre ord – bäst mot mig. Hur klarar sig människor genom hjärtesorg utan vänner. Ofta ringer de mig och frågar hur jag mår, eller berättar något annat sjukt som hänt för att få mig på andra tankar. Strösslar hjärtemojis över mig. En kväll skickar Moa en låt av Solen till mig. Solen går upp över mitt nya liv, sjunger de. Äntligen får jag en paus från mitt ältande och hoppas på lite lite ljus igen.

Den tredje mars plankar jag på pendeln till Uppsala och får en bot. En SL-kontrollant med Napoleonkomplex lyckas alltså, om än möjligt, göra mitt liv ännu pissigare.

Jag har åkt hit för att träffa Moa och Jenny. Vi steker rårakor och delar på en box vin fast det är tisdag. När jag efteråt sitter och bleker Moas hår berättar Jenny att han som precis dumpat mig träffat en ny. Skrattar en millisekund, gråter sen. Moa blir förbannad och wingar mig i affekt.

Redaktionen till tidningen jag skickat min krönika brinner ner.

I april träffar jag honom, han Moa tycker jag borde träffa. Max heter han. Det är jag som bokar bord på en bar på Bondegatan. Jag har aldrig varit där förut men det berättar jag inte för honom. Jag vill framstå som en person som är tjenis på stället.

Samma dag publiceras min första krönika för Gaffa. Den handlar om, ja gissa, hjärtekross. Han som gjorde texten möjlig nämns såklart inte, men jag ser det som tyst krigsföring att blottlägga honom på det sättet, och som en sista punkt för allt det där.

Jag och Max bestämmer oss för att ses igen. Timmar innan vi ses får jag jobb på Klarna och vi firar med årets första Aperol på en uteservering. Står och duttar varandras armbågar i kön in. Jag kanske inbillar mig, men visst graviterar baren mot oss? Gänget bredvid trillar flera gånger in i vårt samtal. De säger att vi är fina ihop. Visst är vi, svarar han. En ensam kvinna några bord bort har en gigantisk kamera med sig. Såg du, hon fotar oss, säger han.

Jag åker till Eskilstuna för att fira påsk. Min farmor och farfar är vaccinerade och hungriga på livet igen. Innan jag tar tåget tillbaka till Stockholm träffar jag tjejerna över en lunch. Vi sitter på torget och en fittgullig bebis ler mot oss. Blir du inte sugen, frågar Astrid och tittar på Ida. Hon skrattar och gläntar på jackan. Gängets första bebis? Svindel.

På min födelsedag intervjuar jag Krunis. Några dagar innan frågar redaktionen vem som vill träffa honom för en intervju. Tror ingen någonsin svarat snabbare på ett mail än jag just då. Vi ses i hans studio och jag hoppas han inte känner igen mig från någon spelning. Pinsamt att vara ett fan. Jag tror det är obalansen i det som får mig att vilja dö. Du är jättebra!!! kontra Vem fan är du.

Sommarstockholm golvar mig. Kanske är det för jag blivit en vio-åkare, tre år försent. Med flit placerar jag mig nästan alltid längst bak i voi-tågen. Det är en så fin bild att se sina bästisar susa genom stan. Ibland duckar de för syren- och häggbuskarna som hänger över cykelbanan och fintar varandra i kurvorna. Dessa dårar. Att vi valt varandra.

Den sjätte juni vaknar vi upp på en båt, jag och Max. Det är imma på fönstren och vi har sovit i jeans. Vidriga förhållanden jag vill ligga kvar i. För igår pratade vi om Oss. Ni vet det där första trevande samtalet om vad vi gör, vad vi är. Att blottlägga terrorbalansen och försiktigt bekräfta varandra.

Resten av månaden springer jag in och ut på 7-eleven mellan jobb och det som sker efter jobb. En kokt på bussen till Rålis medan jag får ett sms från han som mosade mitt hjärta i februari. Tänker att parallella universum finns. Trycker en french och träffar Jennys Anton för första gången. Blir rörd över att se henne rodna. När Sverige spelat ut Polen i EM firar jag med en tunnbrödsrulle på Rörstandsgrillen.

En dag är vi på sjön, jag, Moa, Max och hans polare. Det är sommarens första dag. Innan vi åker tillbaka ställer han sig på taket av båten och tar en bild. Det ser ut som en Prips blå reklam, det han lägger ut. Glittrande hav i solnedgång och solkyssta kroppar. Men det som drabbar min paradoxalt rationella och Allt Har En Mening-hjärna är inte bilden, utan det han skriver till den.

Jag har noll semesterdagar i juli. Men det är okej. Även om jag inte hinner eller orkar göra något om kvällarna sipprar myllret från Skånegatan in i mitt vardagsrum. Sarah Klang spelar nedanför en kväll. Johannes Räihä en annan.

Jag spenderar också några veckor i Eskilstuna. Det blir den sista sommaren där. Mina föräldrar ska sälja huset och flytta till Skåne till nästa. Jag som torgfört deras drömmar om något annat ångrar mig plötsligt. Aldrig mer Tunis?

I augusti går jag ensam på konsert jag och Max skulle gått på tillsammans. Karakou på Nomad. En vecka innan berättar han för mig att han inte orkar ses längre. Han säger att saker är piss. Stök och bök. Och plötsligt blir saker piss, stök och bök i mitt liv igen också.

Helgen efter har vi möhippa för Evylina. Vi dricker bubbel på bastuflotte, klubbar och går till en spådam. Det är 80% skitkul. Alla mina närmsta tjejer samlade och vi firar kärleken.

Men det egoistiska hjärtesorg gör med en gör det 20% mindre kul. Stirrar missunnsamt ner i mitt ölglas, tittar ibland upp med ett forcerat leende, medan Den Långa Kärlekshistorien om hur Evy och Markus träffades och Allt Som Gör Honom Till Världens Bästa Kille berättas.

I september åker jag, Moa, Jace, Bente och Linus till Västkusten. Vi stannar där fyra dagar. I bilen påväg ner formar flyttfåglar v efter v i himlen och vi stannar någonstans vid Jönköping för att titta på stjärnhimlen. Noterar Karlavagnen. Det enda jag kan. Resten är bara samma lysande pluppar alla människor alltid sett.

Vi är där sommarens sista helg. Fiskar ostron mellan jobbmöten och steker pannkakor på lunchen. Har sittning på kvällarna och jag får sitta bland tomma shotglas och fimpar på mornarna när jag börjar. En form av diskbänksrealism jag kan leva med.

Och Gaffa ringer mig. Jag svarar och river nervöst av grässtrån medan de frågar mig om jag vill bli redaktör. Jag säger självklart ja.

Den första oktober gifter sig min bästa vän, Evylina med sin Markus. De som träffades på ett X-ide-klibbigt dansgolv i Eskilstuna. Nu herr och fru. Feta turister står och gluttar med all inclusive-drinkar i händerna under vigseln på en strand i Spanien. Jag grinar ändå. Det blir nästan vackrare med det. Jag och Jenny är toastmadames och jag hatar inte att prata i mikrofon.

En vecka senare går jag på Popaganda. Det är den första festivalen på två år. Solen spelar och jag undrar om han är här. Tänk om vi står och just nu sjunger våra låtar exakt samtidigt.

Det gör vi.

Efter spelningen står han framför mig. Människan jag tänkt på sedan vi ovetandes sa hejdå till varandra i min hall för flera månader sedan. Då luktade vi solkräm, nu står vi docs och yllekappor. Två minuter av förlåt. Sen är allt som förut.

Vi går hem tillsammans. Jag sover inte en sekund den natten. Tänker att det är en sådan waste att slösa bort den sista natten med honom på att vara medvetslös. Låg istället och stirrade in i hans ryggtavla medan jag visste att den inte var min. Ljusa jag.

Den första november bestämmer jag mig för att det är kört. Jag är bra på sånt, när jag väl gör det, att bestämma mig. Det är liksom asskönt och råpiss på samma gång att sula igen dörren. Gör en ny lista på Spotify och raderar den om honom. Har Kent-kväll med Moa och Jace och Ida blir mamma.

Månades sista helg ska jag vara i Göteborg. Jag, Astrid och Nadde har pratat om det i månader. Hur vi ska dricka öl på Nefertiti och leva rövare i Sveriges andra stad. Men det skiter sig. Och jag hamnar på en Solen-spelning i Uppsala istället. Och jag träffar Max igen.

Vi tittar knappt på varandra under spelningen. Men allt jag skriksjunger i hans kompisars ansikten är till honom. Några timmar senare står vi och hånglar till Whitney Huston på Harrys dansgolv.

Jag är tydligen inte så bra på att bestämma mig.

Det har gått en vecka av december. Jag har hunnit gå på countryklubb och insett att jag på många sätt är precis lika dum som förra året. Eller, oj reservation för vidrig Gandhi-retorik, på många sätt inte.

Jordens största late bloomer har fått sitt hjärta krossat för första gången. Gånger två. Känt mig extremt oönskad i både kärleks- och jobbrelationer. Varit ca noll ledig. *bebisgråt*

Men jag har känt saker. Återkommer ständigt till att det är det som är att leva. Att känna saker. Mycket gick åt helvete men jag lever mycket hellre ett liv där saker händer än ingenting alls. Och mycket var ju faktiskt vackert. Bortom grin i mörka badrum till Sad Indie har jag haft så jävla kul och känt så jävla mycket kärlek.

Och det är givetvis övertydligt och känsloporrigt, jag vet, men om Solens senaste platta ringat in majoriteten av mitt år så är de absolut sista orden på hela skivan extremt betryggade.

Det är ingen fara. Allting ordnar sig.

Test promillen før politiet gjør det: Promilletesting god idé for påsketurister!

Dato: 26-03-2012 20:46 CEST Opprinnelig tittel på pressemeldingen: Test promillen før politiet gjør det: Promilletesting god idé for påsketurister! Kategori: , Kriminalitet, rettsvesen og juss Politikk Detaljhandel Det går mot påske med fritid, skiliv og god mat og drikke. Påsketurister hjemsøker både fjellet og kysten i store skarer, og som vanlig vil noen av dem ende påsken uten førerkort – etter å ha tatt sjansen på å kjøre hjem når de ikke burde ha gjort det. Slikt er det lett å unngå ved å investere i en håndholdt alkotester.

Det går mot påske med fritid, skiliv og god mat og drikke. Påsketurister hjemsøker både fjellet og kysten i store skarer, og som vanlig vil noen av dem ende påsken uten førerkort – etter å ha tatt sjansen på å kjøre hjem når de ikke burde ha gjort det. Slikt er det lett å unngå ved å investere i en håndholdt alkotester.

– Etter at promillegrensen for noen år siden ble satt ned fra 0,5 til 0,2 promille, er nok  ikke alle klar over hvor lite som skal til i dag før førerkortet kan ryke – og en saftig bot følger med på ”kjøpet”.

Promillegrense på 0,2 er i realiteten nesten jevngodt med nulltoleranse, fastslår produktsjef Knut Braaen i KGK Norge AS, som er importør av Drägers apparater for måling av alkoholinnhold i utåndingsluft til Norge.  

I ferier og høytider blir det gjerne mer utstrakt sosialt liv enn vanlig, og man er gjerne litt ”løsere i snippen” enn til hverdags. Da kan det være farlig lett å undervurdere hvilken virkning de ”par-tre glassene med vin til middagen” faktisk hadde. Da kan det være veldig nyttig å blåse i en håndholdt alkotester for å sjekke om man er klar for bilkjøring – eller ikke.

Dräger 3000 er en sivil versjon av samme utstyr som politiet bruker ved sine promillekontroller.

– Apparatet er lite og hendig, og lett å bruke. Det er viktig å følge bruksanvisningen nøye, og spesielt være klar over at man ikke skal blåse i en alkomåler før en halv time etter siste inntak av alkohol for å få så nøyaktig resultat som mulig. Resultatet kan man så avlese på skjermen umiddelbart, sier Knut Braaen.

– Det er ikke alltid så lett å bedømme selv morgenen etter en festlig aften om man er promillefri eller ikke. Det kan bli veldig dyrt å ta sjanser med dette, og promillen skal ikke være særlig høy før førerkortet blir borte lenge nok til at førerprøven må avlegges på nytt.

Dessuten er bøtenivået høyt – vi snakker fort om halvannen månedslønn, sier Knut Braaen.

– Alle er vel stort sett enige om at man ikke skal kjøre verken bil, båt eller andre transportmidler om man er påvirket av alkohol. På vei hjem fra fest forstår de aller fleste veldig godt når bilen må få stå. Denne vurderingen er ikke like enkel ved frokostbordet, og da kan en slik bærbar alkotester være en både god og rimelig løsning. Prisen er lav, ikke minst sammenlignet med hva det kan koste å bli tatt med mer enn 0,2 promille, fastslår Knut Braaen.
